The flange 4 is provided ad acent its inner later. ded and consists of sA. frame 9 ,is provplurality of arms 10, the inner ends of which areconnected to a ring 11, while the outer 4 ends thereof a'rcengaged withthe inner A fabric 13, which may be either of cloth '10 or wire, isengaged around'the frame 9, and 1s in the natureof s'bzigsc that itsopen end will envelop theladjacent end of the flange 4;. This" fabii'io13 constitutes o strainer 14, and to hold the open end thercof engagedwith the fienge 4 a' cord or wire 1s engaged therewith end whentightened "will force the adjeizent 13a rt of the strainer into thegroove 8,

strainer from becoming accidentally disenthus preventing the gaged fromane hanger It will be noted that the inner wsll 'of the groove 8- is ofless diameter than the fiuiigre 4, whereby the fraiue 9 can bereadilye'ngcgcd in the orifice S2. J

It is obvious that when the fabric 13 envelops the frame 9 and has itsopen end secured in the groove 8, said fabric will be drawn taut, andwill thus hold the offsets 12 engaged with the inner edge 4, therebyholding the frame in its operative position.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a hung has beenprovided having associated therewith a strainer serve to preventsediment or foreign matthrough the opening 5 of the bung.
